Bears, disco breaks, lesbian’s being tea bagged and banging booty butt clenches... ahh Pride. And marketing genius.
Toronto Pride (kicking off next week June 24-July 3) is being promoted a little different this year. The tourism board has crafted a hilarious promotional video spoofing pop cultural phenom P90X fitness program, and molded it into something fierce. Don't know about you, but it makes us want to pump it up and go!
